Bose, a name synonymous with premium audio, has introduced two new additions to its Bluetooth speaker lineup — the SoundLink Plus Portable Speaker and the second-generation SoundLink Micro. With advanced features like aptX Adaptive codec support, Bluetooth 5.4, and IP67 durability, both speakers are crafted for music lovers who demand power, portability, and performance. Let’s take a detailed look at what these two new devices bring to the table.
The SoundLink Plus Portable Speaker is the headline product of this launch. Designed for users who want serious sound in a durable form factor, the SoundLink Plus features a brand-new acoustic architecture consisting of one subwoofer, one tweeter, and four passive radiators. This configuration delivers rich bass, detailed highs, and a balanced sound profile that’s impressive for its compact size.
Despite its power, the speaker remains portable — it weighs under 4 pounds and measures just 9.1" x 3.9" x 3.4". It comes with an IP67 rating, making it dustproof, waterproof, rustproof, and shockproof. It even floats in water, making it perfect for poolside parties or beach adventures. The rugged nylon rope allows easy clipping onto backpacks or bikes.
The battery life is rated up to 20 hours, and the USB-C port can charge other devices, doubling as a power bank in a pinch. Whether on a hike or a road trip, the SoundLink Plus offers versatility without compromise.
For those seeking portability above all else, Bose brings an update to its most compact model — the SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen. Don’t let its size fool you. Measuring just 4.06 x 4.06 x 1.54 inches, the Micro packs a punch with a single full-range driver and two passive radiators, delivering surprisingly loud and clear sound for its size.
It also features an IP67 rating, USB-C charging, and a removable fabric strap that lets you attach it to bikes, bags, or gear. The battery lasts up to 12 hours, perfect for day trips or daily commutes. Like its larger sibling, it supports advanced Bluetooth features and high-quality audio codecs.
Both speakers support Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint pairing, allowing two devices to be connected simultaneously. Google Fast Pair ensures quick setup with Android phones, while SBC, AAC, and aptX Adaptive codec support delivers high-quality, low-latency audio across compatible devices.
The Bose Music app unlocks more customization:
Users can also enable Party Mode (pair any two SoundLink speakers) or Stereo Mode (if both units are the same model), offering flexible listening setups for any occasion.
With the launch of the SoundLink Plus and SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen, Bose continues to raise the bar in portable audio. These new speakers offer durability, versatility, and audio fidelity packed with smart features and future-ready codec support. Whether you're an audiophile on the move or just need a speaker that can keep up with your adventures, Bose’s latest SoundLink models are well worth a listen.
